Subject: God Question |
Bible Note: Hi Lionsheart, I am so very glad to hear that you have been serving God now for 10 years and so now that I know that, I can tell you the rest of my story, because you have been serving God long enough now not to get so discouraged. Well I sat in church for 12 years without getting the grasp of anything. I struggled and struggled and could not figure out why I couldn't figure God out or myself for that matter. But in my 12th year, it's like God made it all clear to me in one night. I was sitting in church dreading even being there the start with and in a bad mood, as usual and before the preaching even started, the preacher just opened his mouth, before the first word came out God hit me. I can not explain it, but I knew God was with me. In that moment he took away doubt, fear, unworthiness, etc etc etc. It was a night that God took it all from me and my life has not been the same since then. Before that night, I could not even say that God loved me, because I was so unworthly, God's timing, not mine. That was over 3 years ago and I am so so very thankful for not getting the "easy road" I am use to having to struggle for every little thing and God knew that about me and it has only made me stronger. I can not figure God out. Everytime I think I have a little bit of grasp on life, God turns around and shows me something new. God is so far past figuring out. Thank God. I am so excited for you, because you are hanging on, you are not giving up the fight and God will reveal himself to you and it will be such a blessing. God does not leave you to your own self and your own understanding. He far surpasses anything we can think or imagine and he has great things in store for you because you are not just taking up space sitting in a church, you are searching, and the word says, when you seek, you will find. Bless you and let us know what God is doing in your life. I am eager to see what God is going to do for you!!!!!!!!!!! winningside |
